I am thinking about replacing my 2 barrel carb with a 4 barrel. I was wondering if any one has done this and if you noticed any significant change? Thanks for any comments

On your lawnmower? <BR> <BR>You can, but the jetting needs to be dead on or you could burn up your motor.

Its a moped with a indmar 5.7L. Thanks for the input.

You would then need to get the carb, and intake that came with the same engine. I would also make sure the camshafts are the same. Of course the timing curve also comes into play then too. Otherwise, as I said above, you could damage your engine. <BR> <BR>You will gain power, with your moped, and lose fuel economy, especailly wakeboarding, with a loaded boat. With a car you can actually gain fuel economy by going to a 4 barrel. I have done it tons of times in automotive applications, but never in a boat. The big difference is boats are constant load, so damage happens faster, and mixture is more critical. <BR> <BR>Your welcome <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0>

I have a carb and intake for a Indmar 5.7. I also have the rest of the engine if you need any other spare parts (distributor, alt, pulleys, coil, etc...) I will cut you a smokin deal just to get the stuff out of my way. 865-755-4333 or <a href="mailto:Jwade@skierschoice.com">Jwade@skiersc hoice.com</a>
